In spiritual path there is a definite possibility of developing doubts and suspicions. It is very difficult to understand the ripples of the mind because of its unimaginable strength and subtlety. It is even more difficult to be above the mind and stay there. Since the roots of lack of faith and doubts are very deep, it is difficult to find and annihilate them. So when you experience even the slightest hint of that lack of faith (અશ્રધ્ધા) and doubts are developing, do not give it importance and store in the mind. By holding it in the mind this poisonous insect of doubts and suspicion is fed and it multiplies. Great harm is done to the tender plant of sadhana. If we do not practice to start doing very subtle observation of our mind, certain kind of dullness and inertia settles in. In this condition there is a feeling that we are progressing along the path of sadhana but in fact we stay in the same condition.
